Javier Pastore keen to avoid complacency

Javier Pastore believes that Paris Saint-Germain must guard against complacency after moving three points clear at the top of Ligue 1.

Javier Pastore has warned his Paris Saint-Germain teammates that the Ligue 1 title race is not over following Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Metz.

The win moved Laurent Blanc's side three points clear at the top of the table, and despite admitting that all of the pressure is on Lyon, Pastore believes that PSG must not allow their performance levels to drop.

"Lyon know that even if they win all their matches, it might not be sufficient," the Argentine told reporters. "The pressure is on Lyon and that's a lot better for us.

"We wanted to beat Metz to distance ourselves from Lyon and this win was capital from the point of view of the whole season.

"We need to play our final four matches with the same mentality and the same spirit as we did against Metz. If we play in this manner, the title is in our hands."

PSG return to action with a trip to Nantes on Sunday.
